Modeling of complex scenarios using LVC simulation

Interoperation of simulation models is an important issue due to high level requirements of reusability, scalability, and eventually training effect. Achieving Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) simulation interoperability is a main goal and a major challenge for M&S community. High interoperability quality in LVC simulation environment is a technologically complex task, being affected by multiple factors, and the task is not yet satisfactorily characterized and studied. This research presents an experimental LVC simulation framework to model and simulate complex war fighting scenarios. Our experimental framework implementation discusses key issues for LVC interoperability encountered during our experimentation. A case study is presented to discuss LVC integration and interoperability challenges. Our experimental research aim is to contribute to the definition and design concepts of LVC simulation systems developments, technological considerations and adequate interoperability.
